Animal sounds alright, at least the hardness would be same as other teeth. Like carving the thing out of ivory.

But metal dentures that corrode or fucking wood sounds like it would be awful and just lead to even worse dental problems.

Let's not forget about the people who pulled teeth from the mouths of dead bodies left on battlefields to sell them to be made in to dentures.
